+- Subject [knip issue-678](https://github.com/webpro-nl/knip/issues/678)
+- the deep file structure should simulate a project path, which contains `builds`
+
+
+## Reproducer
+
+The repository presents a correct JS repository, which uses the dependency `chalk`.
+
+```bash
+cd knipuser/cicd/builds/project42
+npm ci
+npm run knip
+
+# > project42@1.0.0 knip
+# > knip
+
+# Unused devDependencies (1)
+# chalk  package.json
+```
+
+The result is wrong. `chalk` is used. See analysis [in the issue](https://github.com/webpro-nl/knip/issues/678).
+
+Check `npm run knip -- --debug` to see that `src/index.mjs` is not matching, although entrypoint and it exists.
